You didn't think you'd get rid of us that easily, did you?
We're coming back!You thought you were done with us, didn't you? ADMIT IT!To be fair, we did say that we would come back if we could, although none of us expected it to be this soon.We don't have a set date, it won't be on any sort of regular schedule, and there are going to be some changes to the format, BUT there will be good and terrible movies, lots of arguing between us four, and plenty of pitching ideas for sequels. Which you'd hope there would be, as we're not changing the name.If you've stayed subscribed and have come across this in your feed then thank you so much for sticking with us.

A very special and slightly sad announcement
Hi everyone!We have an announcement to make - our live show in London on November 6th is going to be the final episode of Sequel Pitch.It's a decision that we've made for all of our mental well-beings; we have so much fun recording the show, but finding the time to watch the movies, come up with the pitches, record, edit etc, when we've all got varying amounts of pressure around jobs, children and mental health issues to deal with, we all want to put the show to bed while we're still enjoying it.This podcast is something we're all extremely proud of. We love the idea, we've built a load of fantastic friendships in the movie critic and podcasting industries, let alone how much it's strengthened our own, we've had some dream guests we wouldn't have expected in our wildest dreams, AND we've had the immense privilege of knowing (because people have told us this, honest!) That we've made something that brings them joy.So if you've listened to us, told someone else to, supported us, or frankly just tolerated us, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you so much.And you never know, this might not be the end! There might be a film that we just can't bear not to do an episode on, or we might open the feed up for other people to come on and take it over. We might all just restart it ourselves in a year or two when we're not having such a rough time existing as elder millennials under late stage capitalism and a tory government! So if our RSS feed or format are of interest to you, get in touch, we'll be hanging on to our socials :)So that's us - if you can make it to London on the 6th we are hoping that it can be a big lovely send of, and celebration of the friends we've made along the way.Take care of yourselves, we love youThe Sequel Pitch BoysTwitter: @SequelPitchInstagram: sequelpitchpodcastFacebook: Sequel PitchAs always, our eternal thanks to Captivate for providing our hosting for the show.

Gone with the Wind Sequel Pitches and scores
The meeting of minds is back! This week, Ross is hosting after last week's guest, Film Joy's Mikey Neumann, set us the unenviable but hilariously cruel challenge of pitching sequels to Gone with the Wind, the sweeping and undeniably problematic in a modern context 1939 epic romance starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland.Expect s lot of discussion about the terrible oppression of black people under the confederacy, so much bafflement about how the characters realising slavery was wrong not being part of this story, and a lot of discussion about the ethics of viewing films like this one in a modern context. It was a really... energetic but fascinating discussion to haveLinks!Patreon: If you like what we make and want to help us make more, better sounding content, we have a £2 Patreon!Twitter: @SequelPitchInstagram: sequelpitchpodcastFacebook: Sequel PitchIf you're not already, please consider subscribing on your podcast app of choice so that you get our episodes as soon as they land.
